Stories that find light in the darkness

I write uplifting novels about hope, belonging, and finding beauty in unexpected places. Each book stands alone, but together they explore the ways we reconnect with ourselves and with each other — even when life doesn’t go to plan.

See the Stars

A gorgeous, heart-warming story about rediscovery and the beauty of finding light in dark times.

When Alice Thorington collapses in the street, she must finally admit that her outwardly happy life isn’t everything she hoped it would be. Burnt out and directionless, she returns home to Yorkshire — and to her long-forgotten love of stargazing.

There, she meets Berti, a boy who finds comfort in counting stars, and Matt, her brother’s best friend and her teenage crush. As the three of them face their own struggles, Alice begins to see that sometimes we need the darkness if we want to see the stars.

The Art of Belonging

A tender, uplifting novel about family, forgiveness, and finding your place in the world.

When unexpected circumstances bring Grace’s estranged daughter and granddaughter to live under her roof, old wounds resurface. Between them lies a messy past — and the hope of something new.

With a mystery at the local school, an exquisite miniature railway, and a little bravery, three generations of women start to rediscover not only themselves but also what it truly means to belong.

Everything Is Beautiful

An exquisitely told, bestselling debut about love, loss, and seeing beauty in the most unexpected of places.

When Amy Ashton’s world fell apart eleven years ago, she started a collection — of keepsakes, objects, and fragments of happier times. But when a family moves in next door and a chance discovery unearths a mystery, Amy’s carefully curated world begins to change.

If she can face the past she’s been holding onto, Amy might just find that the future she thought she’d lost is still hers for the taking.
